Bentworth forced a turnover in overtime, then Caden Hackinson booted a game-winning 22-yard field goal as the Bearcats opened their Black Hills schedule with a win. Blake Neal’s 1-yard run lifted Burgettstown to a win, keeping the Blue Devils unbeaten. Colin Sieg threw a pair of TD passes and ran for another score as Fort Cherry rebounded from a loss at Monessen a week ago.

Beth-Center and California rolled to wins, staying unbeaten in the Tri-County South, steaming toward a possible conference title showdown game in Week 10. Avella rebounded from last week’s home loss, topping Carmichaels. Washington County’s three 2A teams lost, though McGuffey was a play away against #2 Bishop Canevin. Waynesburg stayed within reach of the 3A Interstate leaders with a convincing home win.

Canon-McMillan kicked a field on the first possession of overtime but couldn’t keep Hempfield out of the endzone on the Spartans’ OT possession. Peters Township, Ringgold and Trinity all won their final non-conference games. Wash High allowed a blocked punt, setting up Clairton’s winning touchdown in a possible playoff preview.

DETROIT (AP) — Spencer Torkelson finished a single short of the cycle, Jackson Jobe pitched 5 1/3 innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 after nearly wasting a six-run lead. Detroit led 8-2 after seven innings, but RBI singles by Nick Gonzales and Ryan O’Hearn and a three-run homer by Rafael Flores Jr. pulled the Pirates within one run in the eighth. Torkelson got some help from the Pirates defense – his second-inning triple was a sinking liner to right that evaded a diving Jake Mangum, and his double was a routine fly ball to shallow right-center that fell untouched among three fielders.

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) — The Internationals delivered another sweep in foursomes and have the Americans on their heels in the Presidents Cup. Nick Taylor hit a 9-iron to a foot to save par on the 18th hole as he and fellow Canadian Corey Conners took down Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns. British Open champion Ryan Fox holed two key birdie putts and closed out a par as he and Min Woo Lee toppled Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark. The sweep means the Internationals have a 7-3 lead. It’s their largest after two sessions since 1998. That’s the only year they won the Presidents Cup.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa injured his calf warming up for practice earlier this week and will miss a few games. Coach Kyle Shanahan said that Bosa got hurt before practice on Thursday doing “high knees.” Shanahan said Friday that the injury wasn’t believed to be long term but he would likely miss a few weeks starting with Sunday’s game against Arizona. The injury to Bosa is the latest to hit the defensive line for the 49ers.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry has agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $116 million that would take him through the 2028-29 season. That’s according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on Friday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Warriors had not announced the terms of Curry’s contract. Curry was eligible to command up to $136 million, so he is giving his team a discount as he backs up his longstanding commitment to finish his career with the Warriors. He is a two-time MVP and the NBA career leader in 3-pointers.
